"Acoustic instruments run from a Shure UHF wireless into two Pendulum Audio SPS-1 preamps. The signal then flows into a Universal Audio LA-610 MkII tube-equipped recording channel before heading to the front-of-house mixing console."

the 610 is really about tracking live instruments, and most of all vocals... not that its not cool for dance music, but it excels at helping tracks stand out in a dense rock band situation. want to kick some ass with it? run a synth into a guitar amp and mic it up thru the 610 for a standout lead line with a little room on it.
